HONEY AND THE MOON

Don't know why I'm still afraid
If you weren't real I would make you up
now
I wish that I could follow through
I know that your love is true
and deep
as the sea
but right now
everything you want is wrong,
and right now
all your dreams are waking up,
and right now
I wish I could follow you
to the shores
of freedom,
where no one lives.

Remember when we first met
and everything was still a bet
in love's game
you would call; I'd call you back
and then I'd leave
a message
on your answering
machine

But right now
everything is turning blue,
and right now
the sun is trying to kill the moon,
and right now
I wish I could follow you
to the shores
of freedom,
where no one lives

Freedom
run away tonight
freedom, freedom
run away
run away tonight

We're made out of blood and rust
looking for someone to trust
without
a fight
I think that you came too soon
you're the honey and the moon
that lights
up my night


But right now
everything you want is wrong,
and right now
all your dreams are waking up,
and right now
I wish that I could follow you
to the shores
of freedom
where no one lives

freedom
run away tonight
freedom freedom
run away
run away tonight

we got too much time to kill
like pigeons on my windowsill
we hang around

ever since I've been with you
you hold me up
all the time I'm falling down

But right now
everything is turning blue,
and right now
the sun is trying to kill the moon,
and right now
i wish i could follow you
to the shores
of freedom
where no one lives

freedom
run away tonight
freedom freedom
run away
run away tonight

There are so many bits of this I love. I couldn't decided what piece to make my status. In the end I went with "you're the honey and the moon that lights up my night" I think next I will do "we got too much time to kill like pigeons on my windowsill we hang around" and then "you would call; I'd call you back and then I'd leave a message on your answering machine." The whole thing is good.

PHOTOGRAPHIN

Edward Weston

Yelle, the French music artist started this crazy dance style called Tektonik that I find really interesting:

Also I like this it has interesting lighting and camera movement, and I just like it.

I've been really into photography lately, yesterday I learned how to develop black and white film which was really fun and wonderful. Today I went to an exhibit of Edward Weston's work at the Museum of Fine Arts with Jared and Sam. While I was waiting to meet them I got a potentially great photo of a nice young couple laughing, they were very willing subjects. I also snapped a few shots of Jared and Sam and the MFA, I'm hoping its a good batch because there are some really good potential shots. I really like this camera and have taken to carrying it around. I'm heading out to get Ethiopian food with Christine, Rita and one of Rita's friends. I'm wearing my new leggings:
Finally here is another interesting photographer who has a show at the MOMA right now: Mikhael Subotzky :
Oh! But I almost forgot Ellen Rogers who I've been wanting to share for a while:

ANOTHER HEALTHY HELPING

I just received two more book journals today... one about dinosaurs and a cookbook. The cookbook is for recipes, the dino is for thoughts and things.


One chapter in All About Dinosaurs is called... Hunting Dinosaurs With a Whisk Broom.
I like that they spelled cookie with a y, making it cooky.

The cookbook came with a recipe from a magazine paper clipped in. One of the fantastic things about bookjournals is that they will often come with whatever little surprises they found inside.



I've already put a handful of recipes in my little cookbook.

BEAR SHUFFLE

ITS BEEN A WHILE

So I am now back in Boston and officially moved in and going to classes. I thought that I would share my walls. They are covered in postcards and polaroids and other fantastic things... though I still have a pile that didn't manage to fit.

Last night my roommate Molly and I went to see The Sounds at the House of Blues. It was a good show, just the perfect length and not too crowded. I danced a bunch and Molly got the pick that the guitarist threw into the crowd. Maja was a fantastic performer and the whole band had a really good dynamic. After the show we managed to catch sight of the bleached blond head outside the back stage door smoking a cigarette and walked down the alley a ways to see the band... and ran into a short annoying security guard who would not let us say hello. Molly yelled out "thanks for a great show" right before we left the alley and Maja said "thank you!" back which was nice. We left and walked back to campus, stopping and 7/11 to get a apple slice and cheese box.
I started Intro to Photography today and bought this fantastic camera from Rachel. Photography is going to be so expensive... this semester is going to be actually between Photo and Film 2... but I'm really pleased with the class so far. I have to shoot two rolls before next class on Thursday.

Finally... this is wonderful.

A BIT OF ART

Richard Avedon
I painted a bit tonight and am very satisfied with the pieces, they are simple but I really enjoy them.
I have quite a bit going on on my walls, as is usually the case. Every few years I end up taking everything down and rearranging or starting fresh. I suppose I usually outgrow it... I think I will have this layout for a while though, I really like it and I don't see myself growing tired of it until I move and take my painting and such with me. I just may photograph my walls and my room in general to document it, in which case they may end up here, the photos. The other day J and I were talking about artists, she saw a Richard Avedon exhibit in San Francisco that I am sure was fantastic. Andy Warhol... I looked up why he was scarred and I found that he was shot by a woman who "ran an organization" (she was the only member) called S.C.U.M: Society for Scarring Up Men. I believe that she also shot one of his Marilyn pieces which he sold later. Here is a website that goes over the book... the woman who shot him wrote it and gives a bit of a rundown. We also chatted a bit about Kiki Smith and I felt that I should share this piece, I'm really fond of it. She is probably most well known for sculpture and installations but she also paints, it seems that she dabbles into many different mediums.

Finally... this is something strange that I have never heard of but stumbled across today on the web: electronic cigarettes. Apparently they have a blue bulb at the end that lights up when you inhale and it lets off water vapor that looks like smoke. You can choose different flavors to "inhale" and charge up the pack once you are done. Its really strange.
